Title: project...track bike
Post by: TCAT on December 22, 2012, 10:01:52 PM
Picked this old girl up from a local forum member (from what I've found it was forsale on here too for awhile) Needless to say it's been sitting for over a year, guess it started running bad and he decided to park it instead of looking into what was wrong, I was told when I bought it that all it needed was a carb cleaning.....yeah...about that, it turned into a pulling the head off due to a bad head gasket....kinda snowballed from there...wiring is a mess, someone butchered the harness bad and decided to use yellow wire for the grounds and tie everyone of them to one... :cookoo:

Looks good.  Im in the process of turning mine into a track ride as well.  Dont trip too much on the wiring, you end up cutting out ALOT of it.  Any pics on the tach and holder?  Mine has a cbr600rr front end on it and will need to make a plate to hold the tach.

buddy of mine fixed the wiring mess....I'm actually getting ready to head down to where it's stored so I'll snap some pictures of the tach mount
